He was born in London on 21 March 1869.[1] He worked at Hierakonpolis (ancient Nekhen), where amongst other discoveries his team found the Narmer Palette in 1898.
He studied at Jesus College in Cambridge,[2] continuing to study Archaeology and Egyptology under Kurt Sethe in Göttingen and Strasbourg and then excavated sites in and around Egypt with Flinders Petrie and Somers Clarke.
